Planta Queen

Planta Queen is one of the most consistent vegan restaurants in NYC. Everything I've had here so far has been tasty and the portions aren't skimpy, which is much appreciated. On this visit, a friend and I ordered the tofu 'salmon', Japanese steak, crispy 1000 layered potatoes, baby gem green goddess salad, carrot cake and banana pudding. All delicious and the Japanese steak was the best preparation of the Chunk Steak I've had so far from different restaurants. We were sat in the dining space below the main floor. It has a different feel but nicely done too. As always, the staff were friendly and professional. My only criticism is that the music is always too loud. This makes diners raise their voices to be heard which creates a cacophonous atmosphere. A quieter vibe would make for a much more pleasant experience. Planta Queen is one place I feel confident recommending to anyone. If you're someone who's hesitant about trying plant-based food or knows someone who is, Planta is the place to dispel any fears of bland, unsatisfying food. Come and enjoy!

Excellent customer service. Delicious, inventive vegan food. Plating is esthetically pleasing. I'm not vegan, but I like trying all kinds of cuisines. I thought the dishes here were creative & tasty. Portion sizes were good. My server was very friendly & gave me a good run down of the menu during my first visit. I'd eat here again!

Went here for my graduation with a group of 8 people. We had originally reserved lunch for 3 but things ended a little earlier so we got there at 1:45 and they were flexible. We only had to wait 10 minutes before being sorted. The food was so so good; I could barely even tell it wasn’t real meat or fish. And the prices are really good too. Would definitely go back!

Planta Queen is TASTY! I had the House Burger which tasted great and I also had the Korean Chik’n Sandwich which is one of the best sandwiches I’VE EVER HAD! The sauces were spectacular and the portion size was incredible. I was served by Danny and he provided EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. If you do eat here, definitely ask for Danny. I’ll definitely be going to this vegan restaurant a lot.

The sushi here has taken top spot in my all time favorite dining experiences My usual plant based sushi is relatively basic veggie rolls and it was so amazing to have fancy rolls like these! We ordered the thousand layer potatoes, the red dragon, volcano, torched and pressed and the spicy tuna roll, all of which were amazing! We also topped it off with the matcha cheesecake which again was insanely good! Staff were all friendly and attentive and all of our food came out promptly We paid less than expected as we had a good coupon and we came during happy hour and Maki Monday but I would pay the regular price to have this again :)

We went to this place for dinner and tried the Bang Bang broccoli, which was very good. I also tried the Dan Dan noodles but didn’t like it that much. It lacked in flavor and wass pretty bland. We also tried the truffle fried rice, which was just okay. The ambiance is nice, and maybe the drinks are too (though I didn’t try them), but the food isn’t worth the hype.

The food was good but pricey. I guess typical NYC prices but still. I tipped $9USD & the waiter didn’t seem very happy, no “good bye”or “have a nice day” he was completely mute after I paid. Very strange. I’m sorry but I think $9 was a very reasonable tip. Our total came to 53.46 ($73CAD) and we weren’t even full. It’d be nice if the waiters don’t take these things personally and be nice about it. We were on a budget but we want to support vegan restaurants whenever possible.

Best time! Wonderful service- all of the food is delicious. The miso eggplant is still my favorite. I recommend coming during happy hour (4-6 pm) where there are so many special prices for food and drink. My happy place

Food/drinks this is my 2nd time coming here for a celebration and both times didn't disappoint! It was such a fun eating experience and everything tasted so good!! Must try: fried mushroom + crispy rice appetizer & spicy crab hand roll Atmospherevery lively and bustling even on a Tuesday! Very aesthetic Service‍ they were busy so it was a little slow getting to us Price pricey but you're paying for the experience + atmosphere

If you're looking for a nice spot for Vegan dining, this can fit the bill! We ordered some apps: the "wings" (cauliflower), broccoli, and gyoza. The gyoza pieces are small and don't have much filling. The fried broccoli and sauce were good, but I felt the bang bang broccoli had too much sauce. I ordered the truffle udon. The coconut flavor was strong and the sauce was a bit watery. (I'm guessing they used coconut milk as a substitute for cream). It was udon + 5 pieces of mushrooms. I wouldn't order again. We ate as a party of 7. Unfortunately it was 20 minutes in between the time the first 4 entrees were served at once until the last entree. They seemed to have forgotten one of our orders. Considering we were one of 5 parties in the restaurant on that Friday afternoon, I was disappointed in the service.

Maybe I came on an odd night, but: 1. My drink tasted like FLAT MOUNTAIN DEW. 2. Rolls were good. 3. Both HOT dishes came out COLD. I would have told the waiter, but... 4. We NEVER SAW THE WAITER AGAIN after ordering. We waited, used the app to pay, and no one spoke to us the entire meal, or on the way out. There are WAY too many good restaurants in NY to put up with this.

This is my second Planta Queen experience, the first at the NYC location. Anything truffle is to die for, especially the torched and pressed and the udon noodles. Tried the Japanese Steak for the first time and it was so good! Loved the marinade and the way it pulled apart. The chimichurri and the cabbage complimented it so well. For drinks we got the Cosmic Colada and it was such a fun twist. Can't wait to go back!

Dare I say this spot is overhyped. I thought the food I hate was just okay. For drinks, I ordered the "Not a Rita" mocktail and it was too tart. I also tried the "Turm it up" juice and that was yummy. For food, we tried a few hand rolls and the bao bun from the happy hour menu. Nothing really stood out to me to particularly want more. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? It is very cute aesthetically-dim lighting, nice decor. Our waiter was decent, no complaints. I'm willing to go again and try something else!

PLANTA Queen Nomad is a vegan restaurant and we were in the mood to eat light before a late dinner. The restaurant is nice with black and white tile floors. Unlike most restaurant, the hostess counter is half way inside the restaurant, past the bar, past 5 small tables. There were about 10 additional tables deeper inside the restaurant. They prefer reservations but the hostess was able to find us a table. She helped us "book a table" and within 2 minutes, we were seated. The table was so small across the bar, so was probably intended for quick drink (as an alternative from sitting at the bar). If I would had known than I would had opted for another restaurant down the street. The restaurant is cute place, lighting was very dim (like some energy saving half-light) for atmospheric reasons which I didn't mind but can be difficult to read the menu. Two of our party were not vegan and couldn't tell that they were having plant based meat!! We also got the al pastor bowl which had a very large serving size and was very tasty! I got the spring rolls and the spicy tuna hand roll and both were good, the presentation was nice but the serving size was small for the price.

My friend treated me to a vegan dinner for my birthday. As someone who's been vegan/vegetarian for 7 years I have high expectations for a restaurant that is FULLY VEGAN. This place was gorgeous. I absolutely loved the decor and ambiance, it was giving jungle, boho, Tulum vibes. The drinks were yummy and service was so attentive and kind. The food, though, I feel could have been a little better, like a tad bit more flavorful. It's almost like there was just one ingredient missing from every dish. It wasn't bad necessarily but considering this is upscale dining I expected a little more. I did absolutely love the tofu-based matcha cheesecake! I wish I had a piece right now as I type this

The Quick: excellent vegan food with fun specials on certain nights of the week. Our meat eating friends enjoyed it as well! Trendy and fun vibe The Details: We really enjoyed dinner at this fun Nomad spot. The service was excellent and super quick, The Vibes were good, and the food was delicious. Overall a fun spot. It was cool that on Monday nights they have all you could eat sushi rolls or discounted options. The Damage: a bit pricey, but as mentioned they have cool specials during the week that are worth checking out

A full vegan restaurant with so much variety and amazing dishes. We reserved a table for Monday evening dinner with friends. Our table was ready at scheduled time upon arrival. The has two floors, the big bar is on the first floor, lower floor has a smaller bar and few more dining space, with some wonderful interior. The menu had lots of small plates, sushi rolls, shareable entrees and of lots of drinks. We ordered 10-12 items all together. Most of the dishes were really incredible. Some of the best ones were bang bang broccoli, bao slider, avocado lime tartare, chili garlic tofu, dragon roll and spicy tuna roll. All items came out at a decent pace, we were able to enjoy the dinner for almost 3 hours. The 500ml sake was got enough for 2 rounds of shots for 4 people. I liked the cucumber mint lemonade as well. We ended the dinner with a chocolate brownie and matcha cheesecake, both were decent dessert items. The service was amazing throughout the night. Our server was a pro. He kept checking on the table, took out empty plates, kept filling up water and drinks. Never thought a vegetarian restaurant could be this much creative and popular, was really amazed by the experience.

My first time in a vegetarian restaurant and may I say that I'm blown away by the flavor of all the dishes. I like everything that we ordered. Layers and layers of flavors. Beautiful plating. I enjoyed it visually and tasting it. Service is wonderful. Restaurant vibe is really chill, people talking and laughing, nice decor on the wall. Definitely recommend!

Sushi is my favorite food. If it were up to me, it'd be my last meal. Which makes being in a relationship with a vegetarian very hard. I don't want to say that PLANTA saved our relationship, but I'd be lying if I said this place hasn't greatly improved our happiness as a couple. The atmosphere is cool, staff are friendly, and everything we've had here is delicious. The sushi is especially great, it's shocking to me how good it tastes and how close the consistency of fish these people are able to get with just vegan ingredients. It's nice to be able to come to a restaurant and have my date look at a list of options rather than limitations. On our most recent visit we came for their all you can eat maki roll deal, which is an absolute steal. We ate to our heart's content, downing every roll on the menu (and a few more than once). The Torched and Pressed is by far my absolute favorite - the seared avocado and miso truffle glaze tastes decadent, similar to the way uni melts in your mouth. Even die hard pescatarians will enjoy it here. Don't skip this place.

Came here for happy hour and am so glad the food didn't disappoint. Just judging off the dishes I tried, I don't think they have any bad food--opinions would just vary based on personal preference. It definitely seems like they do sushi very well and so I would definitely come back again for happy hour, and I would like to try their regular menu sushi items as well. I first tried their hand rolls: - Spicy tuna: my FAVORITE thing I tried and actually tasted so similar to real tuna. I loved how light the flavor was and how they didn't try to overcompensate by making it too salty. 6/5 stars!! - Crispy mushroom: good but a bit salty due to the sauce, and so I wish they went lighter on it. I really enjoyed the bites that were light on the sauce and I was able to taste the wasabi--such a good combination of flavor and even kind of refreshing. 3.75 stars - Spicy crab: probably my least favorite thing I had. The heart of palm tasted simultaneously artichokey and like a spicy mayo (imitation) crab mix. It was pretty interesting but I'm not a big fan of crab salad. 2.5/5 stars - Japanese sweet potato: pretty good (sweet, soft, buttery) but since the sweet potato was so much larger and the flavor so much more prominent than the other ingredients, it was a little overpowering. 3/5 stars Also had their crab rangoon dip which was yummy and full of flavor, but a little dip went a long way since too much made it salty and would start to mask the flavor of the wonton chips (which I really enjoy). 3.95/5 stars Lastly I tried the chick'n fried mushrooms, which were perfectly fried. I'm not sure if nuoc cham is the perfect dip for these, but I will say that it did taste pretty good with the pickled veggies from the sauce. 3.75/5

Such a delicious vegan Asian inspired restaurant in Nomad. We really loved the tuna sushi, pad Thai salad, lettuce wraps, and Dan-Dan noodles (this last one was to die for and I could've sat there all night eating this!). We had some kind of tofu mushroom garlic dish, which we disliked immensely so skip that one. Cocktails were clever and inventive. Service was great as the waitress kept checking in on us. You should note the tables are tight and right on top of each other (and small). You're definitely gonna feel close to your neighbor, and like there's not enough room on your table for all the food!

Planta Queen is one of the most consistent vegan restaurants in NYC. Everything I've had here so far has been tasty and the portions aren't skimpy, which is much appreciated. On this visit, a friend and I ordered the tofu 'salmon', Japanese steak, crispy 1000 layered potatoes, baby gem green goddess salad, carrot cake and banana pudding. All delicious and the Japanese steak was the best preparation of the Chunk Steak I've had so far from different restaurants. We were sat in the dining space below the main floor.

This makes diners raise their voices to be heard which creates a cacophonous atmosphere. A quieter vibe would make for a much more pleasant experience. Planta Queen is one place I feel confident recommending to anyone. If you're someone who's hesitant about trying plant-based food or knows someone who is, Planta is the place to dispel any fears of bland, unsatisfying food. Come and enjoy!

This might be my new favorite place. Not only is beautiful designed for cute after work drink or an upscale date night, the food is delicious. I had the dragon roll, the peanut noodles and the bang bang broccoli. All delicious. All vegan. There was not one miss. The staff was also so sweet and accommodating. My server gave me solid options and everything he suggested was on point. I will be back!

Line another reviewer, we weren't allowed to be seated at our table until the 4th person arrived for the reservation. Well, they definitely lost some sales in drinks there! We were asked to step aside so they could seat other parties, and like other reviewers, we were asked to move as we were blocking the flow of traffic. It would be nice if they 1. Hadn't asked us to stand where we were and 2. Had a designated waiting area. Silly. Nice we were seated, everything changed for the better. Our server was very nice and attentive, he kept checking to make sure we were well situated and even invited us to stay a bit longer and socialize with each other. The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. I almost gave up at the host stand, but glad we persevered through that poor initial experience to enjoy the meal.

The food is good, but unfortunately the experience was a complete mess. We made a reservation for 9:15PM on a Saturday. The restaurant was still very full when we arrived at 9:15, and even had a crowd of people waiting. We checked in with the host and we were told to wait on the side. As we were waiting, the serving staff kept on telling us to go somewhere else because we were blocking their normal route of serving food, but the restaurant was pretty full and there isn't many other spots we can go. It is cold outside. After 30 minutes, we still were not seated. It ended up taking us 45-50 minutes to get seated, despite having a reservation. What was the point of getting a reservation if we are going to have to wait anyways?! I find it unacceptable to have us wait so long even though we had a reservation. One of us had to catch a train home later at night and it made it extremely stressful. The restaurant also did not ever provide a clear eta on when we will get a table. We just kept on being told soon, which turned out to be 45-50 minutes. While they did expedite our food once we sat down, which I appreciated, the wait was just too long and the journey to the table was too frustrating for me to fully enjoy the food.

I came tonight with a few friends for dinner. We didn't have a reservation, but it wasn't super packed and we were able to get seated before happy hour ended. The space itself is quite nice, with a large bar up at the front and lots of tables towards the back. For our drinks, we ordered the dragon and lychee martinis, which were delicious. For food and since everything was meant to be shared, we ordered the bao buns, the crab and sweet potato hand rolls, the cold peanut noodles, the summer rolls, the firecracker wings and the chick'n fried mushrooms. Everything was super flavorful with the standouts for me being the sweet potato hand roll, the bao buns and the firecracker wings. The service was attentive and we were able to order fairly quickly after sitting down. I would definitely come back again!

Second time back, I think my original review still stands but if you know what to order, it can be a 4 star. Definitely get the sushi and the bao slider, they do vegan sushi very well, and the flavor profile was similar to real sushi and the texture was great. The bao has a super crispy filling which makes it so satisfying. The cauliflower was a let down, the pieces were soggy and needed some crunch, and the tofu and veggies tasted good but didn't feel like anything special.

I came here for dinner on a Friday night. We arrived five minutes before our reservation, but had to wait about 10 minutes for our table. Logistics were a tad messy because several parties were standing around waiting while delivery personnel tried to navigate around them to pick up orders. The restaurant is very large. The bar in the front is gorgeous, featuring mirrored metallic decor. They have a large main dining area, a few tables in the front, and an additional bar and seating downstairs. We sat downstairs. The tables were a bit snugly close to each other so you could hear the party next to you, but it wasn't too bad. The music wasn't loud and it was easy to hold a conversation. We came for their Valentine's Day special. For $68 per person, you could share 5 dishes + 2 desserts were included. To start, we had the bang bang broccoli. This was probably my favorite dish of the evening. The broccoli were batter fried and deliciously crunchy. The sauce had a distinct and satisfying peanut flavor. We also got the crispy gyoza. Instead of the usual individual dumpling pieces, this was served as one giant, round mass, which was fried on top and had a pocket for the filling underneath. It sat atop the dipping sauce. It was okay; mostly tasted like a regular veggie gyoza. It was a bit difficult to cut and share, so something to note when ordering. For entrees, we started with the volcano roll. This was served with about eight pieces. It was tasty and all the ingredients were well balanced. We also got the udon noodles. I adore truffle so this was a must try for me. I loved that they used a traditionally Asian style noodle with an Italian sauce. However, the flavor was quite mild. It needed a sharper cheese in the sauce, but I still enjoyed it. Finally, we got the singapore noodles. These were flavorful, but the curry taste was subtle. The portion size was huge. We were able to bring some of both of the noodle dishes home. For dessert, there was no choice; everyone received the same two options. The lemon meringue was rock solid and difficult to cut. It melted in your mouth into sugar crystals, but it wasn't my favorite. We enjoyed the chocolate lava cake, which was very moist and paired nicely with vanilla ice cream. To drink, I had the Mezcal Me Maybe. It was perfectly fruity and tangy from the passionfruit. Loved the candied ginger garnish. My husband had the Emperor's Old Fashioned, which was quite strong. I would absolutely come again. There's so much on the menu to try!

Went here randomly for dinner with friends and my kids and needed to immediately review. We'd all heard it was good but MY GOD. There wasn't a subpar thing we ordered. We def ordered way too much as we wanted to try everything on the menu (yes, we'll be back as soon as our wallets allow). The bang bang broccoli, Szechuan Dan Dan noodles, truffle rice, omg the crispy rice bites Yepp, still full but hungry for it all again. If you have kids they have a great kids menu but my adventurous kiddos also devoured the chips and pepita guac as well as that bang bang broccoli. The watermelon juice came in the *perfect* child friendly cups. And the staff was so friendly and accommodating! As far as ambiance, I wouldn't go here if you're hard of hearing, but it's a lively hip place with friendly vegans and good people watching.

Stopped in solo for lunch last week and had an amazing time! Beautiful room, excellent service, and I ordered too much food and ate it all, lol! Everything was delicious, and beautifully presented. Planta Queen remains one of my favorite restaurants.

So all I can say is WOW. I actually don't want to give a great review for fear of making this place too hard to get into! Paloma mocktail was outstanding. Sushi was great and the REUBEN!!!! The REUBEN!!!! I don't even think I'll ever have a real Reuben again. #spoiledforlife

My friend is vegan and gluten free, and Planta had so many options for her! This is a great spot, and I really loved the creativity that was on the menu. It's actually incredible that everything on the menu is vegan. That being said, what I had was decent, but not great. We shared the crab roll, and I ordered the scallion pancake with egg. The crab roll was soft and had great flavor. I only wished that it had some kind of difference in texture like a crunch factor, or some kind of difference in taste as I found it somewhat one note. Not to go all food network, but maybe some acidity would have helped it. The scallion pancake with egg was underwhelming. The egg was scrambled which didn't make any sense to me as that meant that I couldn't pick the wrap up since the egg was falling out of it. I think it would have made more sense to fry the egg or make it over hard so that it was one piece that would make it easier to eat. I had to eat it with a fork and knife because of this. The pancake itself was also extremely flour-y and didn't have that flaky quality you crave in a scallion pancake. It was more cakey than anything. The eggs were nicely seasoned though. The interior of this place is also really beautiful. I'm not sure if I just ordered the wrong thing, but I would still recommend Planta to any vegan eaters who are looking for something slightly more upscale.

Probably the best vegan food you'll ever have. I'm not vegan, but I loved everything I ate at PLANTA Queen! It's going to be crowded and loud indoors and so we opted for outdoor seating, and 10/10 would come back. Be sure to make a reservation! Recommending the Ahi Tuna Roll. You can't go wrong with that. The Crispy Mushroom Bao. And the Mushroom Truffle Udon!

We originally wanted to come here for Monday specials but they're only after 5pm. We ordered the bang bang broccoli (so flavorful and crispy, wish it was less saucy), the spicy tuna roll, torched and pressed, spicy crab, sweet potato hand roll and the bao buns. Our favorites were the spicy tuna and torched and pressed. They have such good happy hour deals, would definitely come back for that.

Second time here and honestly very disappointed. I was excited to come back but the novelty definitely has worn off. The concept of being all vegan is very cool but I felt like most dishes were underwhelming. I was particularly excited for the udon noodles but they were lacking flavor. The torch press roll was pretty good, and the bang bang broccoli was nice but the portion was small for the price. The chicken bao bun was also nothing special. Additionally, we were seated in the front of the restaurant and we felt completely forgotten. Our waitress only came over 3 times and we had to flag her down for water after waiting 15 minutes. Overall I wouldn't pay premium prices for subpar food and less than average service.

We came before a show and were running a bit late which they accommodated. Everything was delicious. The sushi roll wish crispy onions on top was our favorite. Very hipster vibes inside. You'll definitely want a reservation on a weekend, probably even a weekday evening.

Stop everything you're doing and just go here. I've been wanting to visit planta for a really long time now. I used to live in jersey & was able to visit nyc whenever but of course, planta came to town after I moved and since then, I've just been drooling over the menu. I visited mid November for a late lunch with 4 of my friends. We got seated fairly quickly & there were plenty of diners at the same time as us. First off, I'm a vegetarian but allergic to tree nuts, so when our server came around, she adjusted my menu to cross off the items that I wouldn't be able to eat. I LOVED that. The guys had ordered the fresh juice to start, and my girl friend & I ordered cocktails - mez cal me maybe & a cucumber mule. Both were outstanding. For food, we ordered spicy tuna roll, summer rolls, bang bang broccoli, lettuce wraps and more. Everything as so delicious, even my husband thought so and he's a carnivore. Definitely recommend this place & I absolutely cannot wait to be back!

I can't say enough about Planta! It's such a vibe! The interior design is dark, modern and chic. The staff is amazing! I wish I could remember my servers name; they had the best energy and was so charming! His energy was infectious! We ordered several dishes and each one were so tasty. The bang bang broccoli is a MUST. So is the crispy rice. The only dish I didn't like as much was the faux oxtails. The flavors were spot on but the texture was off for me. I dont think that would be a problem for others though. For a vegan spot, you don't miss the animal products at all. The drinks are also really good. So if youre going for happy hr and a quick snack or dining, you will enjoy it. The only negative is the price and the serving sizes. A little on the pricier side and not as much food. Other than that, I love Planta!

Beautiful ambience and one of the best plant based restaurants that I've been to! Our favorites were the 1,000 layered potatoes, crispy rice and unagi eel :)

This is an exquisite dining experience if you are vegan, vegetarian or just appreciate great vegetarian food. They have daily specials, but the key to having a good experience is to go early. There is quite a long wait, even with a reservation we waited about 40 minutes to be seated. My friends and I went on a Monday for their all you can eat sushi special. It was a popular option though, the kitchen was backed up with orders, so I would not recommend ordering this if you go after 8pm, they may not be able to accommodate. They only allow one roll per person at a time and they were anticipating 45-60 mins for rolls to come out. They also price sushi special on Monday, where maki, nigiri and hand rolls are $9 and under. The highlights were the crispy rice tuna, dragon roll and glazed miso roll. Meal and ambiance were fantastic, flavorful and filling. I recommend getting a spread with noodles, rice and some of their wok or small plate items. Overall this was an incredible and enjoyable meal and great if you are boujee on a budget, but love fine dining!

Went with some friends on a Wednesday when their bottles of wine are half off (so basically free) and we shared a bunch of dishes including two noodle dishes (the truffle one was so rich!) and a seasonal shishito pepper small plate. It was pretty busy so there were some issues with our order but they were super helpful in setting it all straight.

Even on limited time, I make it a priority to visit PLANTA whenever we're in the same city. I walked here from the Empire State Building, and it was bustling on a Saturday evening. I happily sat at the bar. FIRECRACKER ROLL This was on their April exclusive menu. Filled with Japanese sweet potato, avocado, unagi, and topped with gochujang mayo & chili salt. DELICIOUS! It deserves to be a staple menu item. TORCHED AND PRESSED One of my go-to menu items. This roll is so melt-in-your-mouth creamy. I drool every time. I even convinced some girls sitting at the bar to order this roll. BANG BANG BROCCOLI My numero uno go-to dish since I visited the SOBE location a few years ago. Will never not order this. Crunchy. Flavorful. Amazing in every way. As they were leaving, a couple asked me about this dish and I let them each have one floret. They were sold! (Not all PLANTAs have the same dishes, but luckily, two of my favs have been at all the ones I've visited: FL, CA, IL, & NY.) TRUFFLE RICE I tend to avoid the main dishes and stick with starters and sushi, but I wanted to try something different. Unfortunately, I should've followed my instincts. It had a nice flavor to it, but it was dry and the rice was overcooked. Disappointing. There was so much potential with the cumulation of ingredients. As a PLANTA Passport holder who doesn't live near a PLANTA, I was excited to be able to use my birthday reward - a free dessert! But they didn't have my fav available- the giant chocolate chip cookie, so I ended up passing on dessert. Service was great. As busy as he was, he kept my water glass filled. The worst part about my visit is that I rushed out to catch my Uber back to Brooklyn and left my leftovers on the counter. I may have shed a tear about it. Tip: there are outlets and hooks at the bar.

My friend is vegetarian so we decided to try this place out. The vibe and food were all really good. Service was also top notch. UNAGI EGGPLANT NIGIRI (2 PIECES) miso truffle This is a must get. The eggplant really mimicked the slimy texture of an eel and the taste was on point with unagi sushi. Maybe even better. AHI WATERMELON NIGIRI (2 PIECES) ginger, citrus soy gluten free The flavoring was really good, but it doesn't beat the eggplant sushi. Their sushi rice was flavored really well, giving each piece a flavor bomb. It doesn't actually taste like tuna but looks close enough to it. TORCHED AND PRESSED avocado, miso truffle glaze gluten free This is really good as well, on par with the eggplant sushi. This is also a must try. BANG BANG BROCCOLI sweet chili, peanut sauce contains nuts gluten free Reviews said this was really good and it really was. A lot of flavor, crunch, and it felt substantial. 1,000 LAYER CRISPY POTATOES caviar, sour cream, chives gluten free Personally didn't care for this dish because the caviar wasn't really close enough to real caviar because it didn't have enough seafood flavor. The potato was good though but it was massive. We are friends with the table next to us and gave them the remaining two we had and they seemed to enjoy it. My friend and I thought it was ok. SCALLION PANCAKE EGG WRAP kimchi, hoisin I didn't care for this dish either. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. It's not particularly memorable. THAI LETTUCE WRAPS shiitake mushrooms, tofu, lemongrass, crispy rice noodles, cilantro, nuoc cham gluten free This was really good. The mushrooms were packed with flavor and felt like real meat. I'd recommend. it's a matcha: oat milk, matcha powder It was a fine matcha, nothing too special. chaga chai'ccino: turmeric, cinnamon, organic chaga, add espresso If you like chai latte, you'd like this. Overall, really good experience! I'd come back again even if I'm not vegetarian.

Incredible vegan food. I recommend the bag g bang broccoli, the Cesar with crispy mushrooms, layered potatoes, and watermelon sushi. This is our new spot for vegan food.

As someone who usually prefers her meals with meat as the protein, this vegan restaurant did not disappoint! I highly recommend going. The space was soo cute, Tulum vibes. A must try is the Truffle Fried Rice which was my personal favorite. Everyone also really liked the Mushroom Udon Noodles, but it was too creamy for my taste. I loved the Chick'N Fried Mushrooms because the sauce was like fish sauce, and the Firecracker Wings was soo tasty as well (I forgot to take pics). Their happy hour is M-F from 3-6pm. Also keep in mind the portions are small since it is tapas style and meant to be shared!

Was looking forward to coming here for a while, so came on a Wednesday night. It was pretty busy but I grabbed a seat at the bar. I got the beef and broccoli for my entree and the matcha cheesecake for dessert. The beef and broccoli had nice flavor and I liked the addition of tofu for some more protein and a different texture. However, a lot of the "beef" was too crispy/crunchy and some pieces were borderline burnt, so it didn't give a very beef experience. The matcha cheesecake was also tasty, with an excellent smooth texture, and the berry compote was a nice way to cut through the richness. Besides the green color, there was nothing else that made this a matcha cheesecake. I couldn't taste the matcha at all - all I could taste was strong coconut flavors (which wasn't described on the menu) and the buttery crust. I like coconut, so it was still yummy, but I would strongly suggest avoiding it if you don't. Would come back to try some different items.

Came here again with parents who are vegetarians, and they loved it. Also a great place to impress the omnivores. Quick seating for Sunday lunch with a resy. Good background music. Waiter is responsive. We LOVED the torched and press. And then the udon noodles and eggplant. Everything else was okay. Least favorite, not pictured, bang bang broccoli

We were here for a friend's birthday and were not disappointed. The food was perfect - we almost tried all the appetizers on the menu. I personally had a Kimchi fried rice (reminded me of Schezwan fried rice from India!). Even our non-vegetarian friends loved all the items they tried. The place was buzzing with patrons. The service was good for the most part - except where the change in shifts messed up our final check. Would 10/10 recommend.

Pretty poor service. Volcano roll was sub par. Bang bang broccoli, a crowd favorite was gross - deeply fried broccoli with an oddly heavy sauce that seems like mayo and peanut butter. We were really surprised by our experience because it had so many great reviews. But of all the vegan places in New York City this was our least favorite meal.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and food that actually tastes homemade. Nothing too fancy--just solid!, satisfying dishes.!

I went here with a coworker for lunch (and later ordered delivery from here) and can't say enough good things. We sat at the bar where our bartender/server was hilarious and helpful. The inside of this location is definitely a more cool/hip vibe, slightly upscale, but no need for more formal wear. We decided to share the Crispy Gyoza, Spicy Tuna Roll and the Torched and Pressed. I had wine and she had a cocktail. Everything was PHENOMENAL. Seriously couldn't even tell it wasn't really fish! Torched and Pressed was a favorite of mine. For delivery, I've tried Unagi Eggplant Nigiri and Ahi Watermelon Nigiri, as well as Cold Sesame Peanut Noodles. Perfection. Everything tastes so fresh and you can tell the chefs have spent a lot of time curating this unique menu. Really cool concept and my vegan friends have shared they love coming here as well. Can't wait to return!

my vegan friends said this was their favorite vegan restaurant in NYC so i had high expectations. it ended up being very hit-or-miss. the highlights were by far the japanese sweet potato appetizer (perfectly charred with a lovely miso glaze - i would come back just for this) and the Torched and Pressed - it sounded boring but somehow the combo of pressed rice, avocado, and torched truffle was so good together. the bao slider was just ok; i thought the fried mushroom was a bit dry. the al pastor bowl with pineapple was tasty and had a great spice mix but i didn't notice that it had potato "chorizo". the green goddess was fine but i wouldn't recommend the chick'n cutlet addon as it tasted kind of odd and not at all like chicken. the main disappointment for me was the truffle cream udon. maybe it was just an off night but the sauce was watery rather than creamy and had a strong coconut aftertaste; the noodles were too soft. the space is on the noisier side but feels very hip. we tried the non-alcoholic paloma and cucumber mint lemonade - both were tasty but especially the lemonade.

A hill I will die on is that vegan restaurants don't miss. Especially vegan sushi restaurants, and Planta Queen is a prime example of this! As a big sushi lover I can honestly say that their creative veggie-based rolls taste similar to the real thing, but even better because they contain fun flavors and additions. Their red dragon and torched & pressed are must-haves, as well as the spicy tuna. As for non-sushi items the udon noodles and bao sliders are amazing! We will most definitely be back here soon!

I absolutely love Planta!! I've been here a few times now, and I think I like it even better now than the first or second time. Firstly when you walk in, the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It is so cute on the inside! There is a nice bar area with seating, a main dining hall and also a downstairs area. All have a slightly different vibe. Upstairs is mostly earthy modern and downstairs is more modern with dragon decorations on the walls. The food here is very delicious- mostly Asian fusion cuisine. I've only been here with non-vegans, and they've all loved it. I think the food here is on the "heavy" side to me (fried, cream sauces etc) so either come hungry or try to mix it up to with lighter dishes. Favorites: truffle udon noodles, bang bang broccoli, corn dumplings. The udon is a star with generous truffle flavor and the portion is plenty to share amongst 2-3 people if you also order other apps and sides. The bang bang broccoli is fried with a yummy peanutty sauce. The spicy tuna sushi was good in terms of filling and creative watermelon ahi tuna, but I will say they put too much rice and the rice isn't like the type of sushi rice you get in a real Japanese restaurant. It's more like the kind of sushi you get in a supermarket kinda rice.. so I think they can work on that. It looks like it's rolled by a machine, which could very well be the case in a high volume restaurant like Planta! They also have a drinks and cocktails menu with pretty yummy cocktails with good presentation. Other things on the menu include a good selection of vegan sushi, dumplings / appetizers, salads, noodles, rice dishes. They also have vegan dessert such as a vegan egg waffle with ice cream! I tried that and it was ok- the waffle could be better. Service was good and they staff adequately to ensure a busy restaurant has fast service. Food came out quickly. Everything ran well and smoothly. It was very busy on a Thursday night- almost full. I would recommend making a reservation! Overall for me, Planta is a go to vegan spot, not just for vegans but also non-vegans. Great "intro" spot for someone who has never had vegan food. Fun and pretty place for almost any occasion- casual hangout with friends, date night, birthday, anniversary etc. Conveniently located in Nomad near many trains! Come check it out.

Wow! Wow, wow, wow. This was recommended to me by a Californian vegan who doesn't play about good eats. They claim this to be their favorite all time restaurant and I see why! Everything from atmosphere, service and accommodation for a gluten allergy was amazing -- then each thing we tried seemed to be better than the last. Our first course, mushroom udon (made GF) was perhaps one of the best dishes we'd ever experienced. Then somehow each offering got better, and it wasn't just the sake! I can't recommend the cheesecake or spicy tuna hand roll enough. If the kitchen had not closed I'd be eating those two things all night until they kicked me out. Yum!

Absolute favorites were the bang banh broccoli, japanese sweet potato, and the 1000 layer potatoes. I'm not strictly vegetarian or vegan but I'd definitely go back and get more small plates and drinks to try. Service was smooth and vibe was pretty nice for a Sunday night. Worth going if you want to change someone's mind about what vegetarian and plant based food is! Really great tasting selections.

Not dog friendly! Mixed messages. Was yelled at by Mary, the hostess, for asking if we could sit outside with our puppy. However, we went there three times before and sat outside with the pup. We enjoyed our past meals at Planta but was turned away this time. Mary basically kicked us out and told us to leave as she screamed at us because we had a puppy with us. Too bad because the food as it is quite yummy here.
